Definitions

  • the present invention relates to: an antistatic agent; an antistatic agent composition containing the same; an antistatic resin composition containing the antistatic agent or the antistatic agent composition (the antistatic resin composition is hereinafter also simply referred to as "resin composition"); and a molded article thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to: an antistatic agent which can continuously impart an excellent antistatic effect to a synthetic resin and has excellent storage stability and productivity; an antistatic agent composition containing the same; an antistatic resin composition containing the antistatic agent or the antistatic agent composition; and a molded article thereof.
  • thermoplastic resins are important materials that are indispensable today since they not only are lightweight and easy to process but also have excellent properties in that, for example, their base materials can be designed in accordance with the intended use.
  • thermoplastic resins have excellent electrical insulation properties and are thus often utilized in the components of electric appliances and the like.
  • thermoplastic resins are easily electrically charged by friction and the like because of their excessively high insulation performance.
  • thermoplastic resin attracts dust and dirt in the surroundings and thus causes a problem of deteriorating the external appearance of its molded article.
  • an electric charge may interfere with normal operation of a circuit.
  • problems caused by an electric shock An electric shock to a person from a resin not only causes discomfort but also potentially induces accidental explosion in the presence of a flammable gas or dust.
  • the most common antistatic treatment method is an addition of an antistatic agent to a synthetic resin of interest.
  • the antistatic agent include coating-type antistatic agents that are coated on the surface of a resin molded article and kneading-type antistatic agents that are added when a resin is molded; however, the coating-type antistatic agents have poor persistence, and coating of a large amount of such an organic substance on a surface leads to a problem that objects coming into contact with the surface are contaminated.
  • Patent Documents 1 and 2 propose the use of a polyether ester amide for the purpose of imparting antistaticity to a polyolefin-based resin.
  • Patent Document 3 proposes a block polymer having a structure in which a polyolefin block and a hydrophilic polymer block are repeatedly and alternately bound with each other.

  • polymer-type antistatic agents are often used by cutting the polymers thereof obtained by polymerization into the form of pellets, and such polymer-type antistatic agents have a problem in terms of storage stability in that, for example, their pellets become sticky and cause blocking during long-term storage or storage under a high-temperature condition.
  • polymer-type antistatic agents are cut into the form of pellets, there is a problem that a defective cutting occurs and the productivity is thereby largely deteriorated since, for example, the resulting pellets have uneven and irregular shapes, some of the pellets remain in a state of being connected without being completely cut, the pellets have rough surfaces, and/or the pellets are observed with burrs and cracks.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide: an antistatic agent which can continuously impart an excellent antistatic effect to a synthetic resin and has excellent storage stability and productivity (cutting property); an antistatic agent composition containing the same; an antistatic resin composition containing the antistatic agent or the antistatic agent composition; and a molded article thereof.
